Musical Instruments of Central Asia.

The Czbcg women are jealously kept out Of sight Of male stranger, even thougt he may Ie distinguished guest and he is expected to le amused by dancing boy. called batchas and musicians. The musical instruments of central Asia are somewhat limited in number. One l saw at Bokhara resernbled a guitar. forty-six inches long, with a sounding board nine inches by four. T. might b. played with a bow or with the thumb. Another instru- ment resembled the lageo!et, and had some thing of the hautboy sound, or between that and the bagpipe. Singing Is frequently ac- companed by men beating tambOurines be- fore charcoal fire in brazier, over which from time to time they hold their instruInents to tighten tho parchment The batchas allow their hair to grow long like that of girls, and dress in long flowing robes and wide trousers. Their performance interested me to sec once, but when repeated again and again It became exceedingly tedious The musicians on occa- sions of dancing sit upon piece of felt or caruet, dressed in their tall sheep skin hats, which give the Uzbegs a somewhat ferocious appearance-Dr. Henry Lansdell in Harper's Magazine.

Failure of the sferv Railway.

The great railroad that was to form the main line of the Russian invasion of India i, reported to Dc gigantic failure, both ir 6 military and financial point of view. This rnilroad that is to connect the Caspian with the Merv and thence proceeding through Bokhara to the confines of AghAnistan has thus far been constructed under military supervision. and it is said enormous sumS have been ingulfed is the granting of frsudu. lent contracts both for material and eonstruc- tion- These facts are studiously ignerst by the Russian press, but according to . lstter written by Gen. Tchernieff to The Soyoe Vrev1na the new road of communication be- tween Russia and her distant Asistic poses. Fions is a total failure. The railroad, it now appears, is built over 6 desert of shifting sand. the desert having in fsct c movable and moving surface with which no engineer ing can contend. On the hrst section of the road the sand has been consolidated by watering it with a solution of clay, but this is impossible near Merv, where there Is neither clay nor water to bs found
 The only way of preserving the line would be 10 cover it with sheds like the snow sheds on the American Pacific railway, but this is impossible in country where there is neither WOOL, etohes Nuio HUT NaScr. A ulLlbdIy line 10 assist in s Russian attack on India it would be useless, or 1t would take three years to convey over 1t a complete force of 200, 900 men with their impsdimenta, and as 1t runs along the frontier of Persia it would have to be guarded by % many men that the line itself would be we'll occupied in sup plying water to the invading forces. The British are also finding almost insurmount- able difficulties in endeavoring to connect Caoul with the Indian system of railroads, the projected line in many places being cut in the sheer incline of the precipices forming the passes, while the rosdbeds in the valleys are liable to reSistleSs inundations in the spring months. Taken altogether, the attack and defense of British India on tho land side form the most costly military problems of the century. San Francisco Chronicle.

Where Is Arizona?

EDITOR CIIzES:-Seeing your address m a newspaper directory here take the liberty of writing you for information about Arizona. cannot find anyone here who hes been to or through Tue son, Tombstone, Nosales or Clifton. Those who have been to Phenix report land higher priced there than 1t IS ir the nelghbOrhood of Los Angeles. l have no map of Arizona nor could find one of any size in this state. neither can l find where the government land offices are located in the territory. There is nothing here to show whether Arizona lies east or west of California, or if there be sny timber within her bordert, and if SO in what portions of the territory can 1t be found, DOT vheih- CT there are any homestead or desert lands thaicsn be. taken up, any quarrel some Indians 10 be avoided, whether II rains the whole year round or does not rain at all, Some one IS to blame for sll this Ignorance which could be dis poIled by !udicious advertising. Per -haps your people want no immigrants to colonize your lands, build your towns snd help by their industry to make a prosperous state of what now IS gen. orally believed by outsiders to be & barren desert.
 Now, Mr. Editor, I attach DO blame tD you. Knowledge of 6 country generally comes though the efforts and enter r,Fr rNa Iaak Nha lak outside generations will live and die iD ignorance of them.
 Of the several maps that 1 have eX- smined l found no two alike. Accord ing to one little map now before me the Gila river has three branches com inR in from the south, while the Sants Cruz, San Pedro and San DOmiDgr rivers have none. Other map makers, however, with perhaps 8 greater spirit of fairness than characterised the nu- thor of the one quoted, have served these rivers all alihe-hranch or 10 braucr
 In conclusion l would say that If She people of Arizona have anything oi decent country and care tO have Uu'sid- CTS join with them n its development they must advertise it. People r.u-t know something about 1t before v-E- turing in. Let them know the altitude of your most important towns, timber area, if any. amount of rainis!', amount of land subject 10 pre-, mphnn under the land laws of;he country, the localits of your land offices, the temperature oi heat and cold, the frequency of frosts, i any, depths of snow, If any, quality and quantity oi crops that can be raised. if any. the fruits raised, it any. and the wages paid to the various classes of me eh nics, provided there be need for such people in the territory. Adver- tise your country if you want it 10 in- crease its population and prosperity to attend its growth.

Curious Traits Of a Deer-Curfosity and
 sneakIng Propensitiss-
 A young western deer hunter, tall, broad shouldered and muscular, just from the forests of Michigan and Wisconsin, was met at the Mansion house, Staten Island, by a reporter and asked for sazns particulars about hunting the deer.
 "Th0re are nearly as many deer ss ever in the woods of the northwest" " he said, 'and they are very wild. Shooting them b the popular sport with us, and there are many men who make living at It. The weight of the deer killed out there runs from l5O to 300 pounds. The way we hunt them is this: They have what we call runways- that is, well defined paths leading from their different grazing grounds to a creek or river. We find these runways and station ourselve. in the woods adjoining. A maa Is detailed to take the dogs and go a mile or % ahead 10 start the deer from the feeding ground The animals at once take to their accustomed runways and are then shot by the huutsrs stationed in the woods. It is no easy mat ter to kill deer when 1t is running, for you almost always shoot too high. When deer Is opposite to you if you whistle or make an unusual sound their great sense of curiosity will frequently cause them to stop and then ts the time to shoot The deer hunting sea son extends from October to December Not song ago saw two deer shot with one shot. One was . large buck weighing fully 25c pounds, and the other a dos of probably 17s pounds, weight They were rraning aide by aos and the hunter was standing only . few rods from the runway"
 ''Do they fight when wounded.'
 "lndeed they do. Lot wounded buck get at you once and it Is almost certain death. Their hoofs are as sharp as knives, and they use them as their weapons, jump ins on and striking you with them. have known of old and experienced hunters being made to climb trees to get out of the way of a wounded buck You want Co ses deer kiu a rattlesnake. 4 rattleznske cannot strike until it Is coiled up. The deer seems Co know this and when the snake is fully coiled, ready to strike, the deer will frst go round and round the snake, keeping the snake whirling around, and suddenly draw its feet together and springing up into the air with a bound come down with it's full weight upon the snake, cutting it to pieces"
